Shadow games as the sun set
Article Abstract:
Foreign Office documents relating to Indian Political Intelligence (IPI) reveal that the British authorities in India operated a skillful and wide-ranging surveillance operation against the forces of nationalism from around the time of the first world war to the granting of Indian independence in 1947. IPI, which operated out of London, England, was responsible for countering any kind of subversion of British rule in India. IPI was pursuing all kinds of people by the 1930s, intelligence-gathering being regarded as the only way of retaining political advantage as Congress rose to power.

Highly respected scientists were given low grades in their examinations. The North report suggests Oxford should be governed by one body. Sir Peter North and his commission carried out the study on Oxford University.
